Why are plants green? Are any plants NOT green?

June 12, 2008

Chlorophyll collects red and blue light and reflects green.  Chlorophyll collects sunlight and turns it into energy with little waste.

Yes, some plants are not green, on the bottom of the ocean.  Mushrooms are not plants, they are in a different kingdom called the Fungi Kingdom.
